Eastern suburbs for now but looking at houses on the lower north shore or northern beaches at the moment.

Eastern suburbs? Yikes, what happened to you?!? :rofl2:

I could ask the same of you - Are you a BMW fanboy now? 😏

I'm an everything fanboy. I seem to want one of every car atm. If only I was a middle eastern prince. :)

Unfortunately, cars are a little lower on my priorities than they used to be. Just moved house and have a daughter going into fricken year ten and another in year 7. Its all doing my head in.

Living the dream :) An unlimited garage and bank account would be nice wouldn't it?

Absolutely. And time to drive them! I bet that GT3 is fun. Totally a fave of mine.

Believe it it not, I have barely driven it. Bought it earlier this year, it arrived the day before my daughter was born so free time wasn't something I have had a lot of, and then we went into a 5 month lockdown and I wasn't able to get to it.

I'm happy to keep it warmed up if you want :)

Congrats on your daughter!!! Is she your first?

Yep. Eldest gets her license this year. Need to find a big open space to let her let it rip.

I'm OK mate - Miss my Skyline, Gloria, Cosmo (ie anything Jap Import) - Still living in Adelaide. Having kids kills the ability to have car projects...... so waiting for them to all move out (11 years to go !) LOL.

20 Years for SAU, that's wild - I still remember my first meet up with you guys, even before I had my GTST. I had the Red VL Turbo and we cruised the Northern Beaches. 

Good Times.

If you weren't SDU before you were SAU, are you even OG? 😀

Car projects are still doable with kids B-man, its the time to enjoy them part that is the issue.

Where in radelaide are you living? DM me if you like - We are down there regularly.

Are you on crack. 4 kids, wife doesn’t work, Adelaide wages. Car projects not happening.

So, while @Duncan has stretched the definition of 'Northside' somewhat, I'm seriously impressed by @B-Manincluding himself from Radelaide. :rofl2:

You have an E500 though, thats super cool.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
